I need to take this on a plane. How do I convince the airline that it is empty?

At least in the US, there are TSA rules on bringing compressed gas cylinders.. it doesn't just need to be empty, it needs to have the valve head completely removed so the inside of the tank can be examined visually. http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/compressed-gas-cylinders

I'm a little late with this response, but I would ask someone at a local gas company. They might be able to certify that it is empty. Other than that, I really don't know what to tell you.

The case is quite large and would require to be checked. Some very large plane may accommodate as a carry on, but all other flights would see this checked.

I've never taken it on a plane, however you should probably place it in your suitecase. I dought if they would let you take it on the plane , due the its size.

I believe the airlines won't let you stow it above with an animal in it, but possibly if empty. But that means they'd have to have a policy that allows you to have the animal in your lap. Most have a policy where the animal has to at least be in a carrier in your lap, between your legs or feet, or under the seat in front of you [during take off and landing at the very least]. Definitely check with whoever you plan to fly with.

Check with TSA, however, going through secrurity with it filled with ice water is probably not going to happen.

Hello,I have heard on some rare occasions that an airline will allow this on the plane, but I would not count on that. They will be happy to gate check it for you though.Thanks!

You have to lift the one that is registering empty. Then reinsert is. It will reset the color that says it's empty.

Based on my experience in my recent travels I am guessing you need to check this into the belly of the beast. There might be a place in the front if you are business class. Call your airline or take a chance. The worst case? They now offer to check it through at the boarding area. However, I am confident that even extended some this will have the guts to keep all your rods safe. Completely or nearly shut down, I expect it might get run over by a car and survive. VERY tough.

Hello, There should not be a problem bringing an empty & uncompressed soda siphon. However the C02 cartridges will not be allowed on airplanes as it is a compressed gas and can be considered hazardous. With that being said please also contact your airline customer service for additional information. Thanks!

Just put it into your purse or carry on bag. The little bag it comes in makes it very discreet. They are perfectly legal for both airlines and TSA.

Yes but I guess it will depend on what you will be putting in it. If it's really full, they might ask you to check it. It depends on how full it is and also the airliner. It should be fine.

Being a person who refuses to fly, I honestly don't know. Call your airline. They can tell you. Sorry I'm not more help.

I don't know. For ease of getting on the plane we detached the seat from the cart before we boarded. Try contacting Britax.

Not sure, call your airline. I'm sure you could check it, they would box it for you. My sister keeps one at her winter home and one in Florida.

I'm not an expert on this subject and I won't accept any liability for how this answer may be used. Hypothetically speaking, I would guess that this item falls in a grey area and would be subject to the discretion of the TSA officers one would encounter. I also suspect that one would, hypothetically, probably succeed in bringing this along in a carry-on. That said, I would advise checking the TSA website for specific information on what is and is not allowed and following TSA guidelines.
